The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of God

 

The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of God

by Olga Hermans

 

A vital revelation that Jesus shared on the subject of hearing ad doing is found in Mark 4. This is an important chapter for us to realize that we choose how we hear from God. In this parable of the sower, Jesus teaches us how to be fruitful in God’s kingdom and how to avoid being unfruitful. Guess what? It’s totally dependent on how we choose to hear and understand the Word.

You might say: “Is this really a choice that we have to make?” It is always our choice; we have to open our hearts by an act of obedience to God to be willing to hear Him. We are able to ignore the voice of the Lord; there will be moments that we don’t want to pay attention to His voice, we close our eyes, we take no notice of His voice. We have to be determined to hear His voice, like Paul said in Phil.3:10

We all are familiar with the parable in Mark 4:2-9, notice what Jesus said when He finished relating it to the people: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” v:9
The word hear in this verse isn’t just talking about hearing with our physical ears. True bible hearing includes not only hearing what God says, but comprehending what He means, receiving it in faith and meditating on it until it is planted in your heart so that you can do it.

When the knowledge of God’s Word comes to a person’s heart, understanding (revelation) enables him to walk it, talk it and apply it to his life. Living the Christian life is no longer a matter of keeping a set of rules and regulations. Instead, it becomes a supernatural walk of following God in the spirit, unhindered and undefeated.

Do you want to know the mysteries of the Kingdom?

And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable. (Mar 4:11)
You see, it has been granted unto us God’s covenant people to know and understand the hidden mysteries of God. Proverbs 2:7 says that God stores up His wisdom for the righteous.

People who are not in right-standing with God can’t understand the wisdom of God or operate in it. It is hidden from them. They don’t qualify, but we who are born into the kingdom have “top secret clearance”!

God wants us to have understanding so He lights our candles by His Spirit with the Word of God and reveals the secrets of His Kingdom. Prov. 20:27 says, “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” And mark 4:22 says nothing is hidden from us.

The secrets of God’s Kingdom are waiting to be revealed to those who want them enough to spend time with the One who knows all secrets.

Here comes our part into play; we have been given the power of choice, to make choices according to the Word of God; yielding to God when he calls us to come to Him and spend time with Him. We choose to honor Him and acknowledge Him during our daily tasks; we choose to talk to Him and walk with Him.

He wants to reveal to us those things that are mysteries for us, the hidden things that we need to know. Choose wisely; our life is driven by our choices. Choose life!

2 Major Steps towards Your Breakthrough

2 Major Steps towards Your Breakthrough

2 Major Steps towards Your Breakthrough

by Olga Hermans

 

Are you believing God for a breakthrough in your life? Come and see what you need to do to stop the problem and bring God-desired end-results into your life.

Psalm 91:1Ampl. HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. He who abides in the secret place; when we are abiding, we are obeying! When we obey the word of God, we are abiding in the secret place.

We chicken out and just say ”this is just too hard for me” and go do something totally different from what we know that God is telling us. We never know if the breakthrough would have come. Breakthrough comes when you make a choice, an unwavering choice to stand on the Word of God and  believe God. You need a good partner and God is the best partner you can get.

If we give God just a little piece of what we have; he gets involved in our life. I rather give Him a big piece of my life, at least 10% of everything that I do. Our spiritual life and day to day life should be separated any way. But here are 2 major steps towards a breakthrough and if you are not applying them already, I like to encourage you to take action.

1.   Tithing of your time
When we give God the best part of our day, which I believe is the first hour of your day. You can do several things during the day: listen to a message, pray in the spirit, make you confession and minister to somebody in need. Do things that glorify God during the day.

2. Tithing of your money
 When people set aside a set portion of their income for the Church, this is known as tithing. God Himself is speaking in Mal.3:10 and He is saying, “Prove Me in this.”This is the only time in the Word where God instructs us to prove Him, and it is the one area where most people have withdrawn from proving God.

God has a system in place and what we all should do it get off from the world’s system and get over in God’s system. It involves faith, it involves believing God for things you need, it involves saying the right words.

You know you are in debt and you are not able to pay your bills you want to talk about it; you want to talk about your problem. Every time, you catch yourself talking about the problem, you know you are going in the wrong direction. Start talking the answer, the Word of God. Talk the Word of God, put God’s word in your eyes, in your ears, let it get down in your heart and it will come out of your mouth. That is the way to live free!

Here is our part Psalm 92:2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! So, we have a part “we say”. We say “He is our Fortress, our Protection, He is our Source, He is the One that gives us increase, He is my Healer and He is my Deliverer.

I am saying about the Lord what the Lord is saying about Himself, right? Every time you do that, your faith will come up. Every time, you talk depression, sickness, lack, and you are calling everybody you know and talk about how bad your situation is. You understand now that you are going into the wrong direction, isn’t it?

Get your bible out and see what Jesus said about you healing. He said that He bore your sicknesses and diseases and by His stripes you were healed”. That is the truth of the matter. Why should you feel old and sick? You don’t have to! Why? Because of what Jesus did for us. We should refuse the bear the curse that He died for. We say NO to sickness “you have no right to come upon our bodies”.

Believe the word, speak the word and obey the word! You just have to choose; am I going with God or am I going with the devil? When you choose to go with the devil, than your future is not very good. But when you choose to go with God, He can undo every mistake of the past, he can bless you in every situation and your future is bright! Your future will get better and better!

Supernatural Incraese and Multiplication

 

Supernatural Prosperity

by Olga Hermans

 

Hi there! How are you doing? Are you standing on what you believe? Are you speaking what you believe? My friend just posted this on facebook and it fits in here just fine “Our greatest threat is not adverse circumstances; rather it’s the incorrect thoughts & beliefs that try to slip in during our hardship” John Bevere. Especially thoughts of doubt, worry, fear and anxiety are thoughts that we should be aware of.

Can you remember this scripture that I mentioned in this post? Lev 26:9 says  “For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you, and establishing and ratifying My covenant with you”. Ampl. God is saying to you and me “rendering you fruitful”. I receive it; do you? We receive it when we say it! Consider yourself fruitful.

This goes back to the original intent that God had in the book of genesis. The blessing was the first words that men heard. And when God spoke to men, He rendered him fruitful. God rendered men prosperous! That is what we walk in; supernatural increase is working in my life. It has to be received. Adam didn’t hold on to it, he let go of it. But we have to receive and not let it go.

The true meaning of prosperity is the ability to use the power of God to meet the needs of mankind; spirit, soul, body, financially, socially. So the purpose for increase should be a motivation to accumulate for distribution. So, we increase in order for us to be the blessing that God has called us to be. The more you distribute, the more you receive. It’s a wonderful plan!

The book of proverbs says: “if you water, you will be watered.” I am declaring over you right now as you read this: ”the supernatural increase and multiplication of God, every bill paid and every need met and every debt wiped out and more than enough left over; too much, abundance for you and your household! Do you receive it? God is the God of increase! Praise Him and thank Him for it!

Come and see what God for Isaac: When Isaac planted his crops that year; he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the LORD blessed him. He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow. He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him. Gen 26:12-14

People in the world got jealous..This is a great instance here of Isaac, don’t you think so? Look at it right now in the light of what is going on in the economy. This is a great scripture for this hour. Job 5:22 says “At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh”.

The increase of God was working in Isaac’s life in spite of what the economy was around him; it works! The economy of God works independent of the natural economy.  When you separate yourself from that Babylonian world system and you go over into the Kingdom of God system. Then that supernatural increase and multiplication is working on your and my behalf.

In the Babylonian system you pay men to help you, but in God’s system you believe Him and trust Him and He helps you. He doesn’t charge any interest; the world does though. God does not enslave you into debt, He blesses you! Supernatural income works on the inside of us. We must see ourselves prosperous on the inside first. “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.” So, it begins on the inside.

The more you say it, the more you believe it, the more you meditate on it, the more you receive it. The meditation of it enlarges our capacity. See yourself with it. Even when your bills are piled up high, read Phil.4:19 especially in the amplified version. God daily loads us with benefits. Confess this daily over your life and the increase that comes from the sowing of your seeds will bring that supernatural increase and multiplication in your life. God is good.

Choose to believe and let the power of choice work in your daily life. You choose to dominate your circumstances and your finances. And as you make these daily choices, your life will change for the good. You will be a distribution center and walk in the full blessing that God has for you. Can you say amen? I say amen to that!

Here is a prayer and a declaration from Gen. 26:12-14

PRAYER:

Father, I thank You that I will receive the maximum yield from my seed in the same year that I sow it. You bless me continually and make my name great. You give me a great store of people who offer me their services and you bless all of my production. Because of your anointing, my substance increases so much that my enemies look upon me with jealousy and envy.

DECLARATION:

The Lord has blessed me with abundance.
His favor finds a home in me.
He receives the seed that I have sown and blesses it so  that I will bring forth the maximum yield.
He has taken hold of me in His powerful arm and promoted me. In Him, I find wealth and position. I have been separated from the world. He has placed within me special and unique supernatural qualities. My supply is great with His blessing in my life.

See you next time!
The Power of Choice belongs to you!

Prime Choice

Prime Choice

by Daniel Lapin

Why do some people succeed in life while others fail? You know the answer.  For the most part, folks fail because they did not do what they should have done back when they needed to do it.  They may also not be doing what they should be doing right now.

See, we all know the road to success.  Do what you must do when you must do it. Not what you want to do.  Not when you get around to it.  Do what you must do when you must do it and the world is yours.

For some people it may mean adopting then keeping to a healthy diet from this moment.  For others it could mean doing whatever it takes right now to protect and nurture a marriage.  It could mean taking immediate and necessary steps to rid oneself of an addiction.  For many it means finding a job, finding a second job or starting a business—today!

This is all really very simple. Do what you need to do when you need to do it.  Unfortunately, however, this simple but true formula leaves us utterly baffled by a perplexing puzzle.  If the road to success is so well marked, why do so many of us fail at so many of the things we consider truly important?

It takes another question to best illustrate ancient Jewish wisdom’s explanation for why so many of us fail at doing precisely what we know so well we ought to do.

Read this verse: I call heaven and earth today to bear witness for you that I have placed before you  life and death, blessing and curse; and you shall choose life…(Deuteronomy 30:19)

Here’s the question:  If life and death are the choices before us, who in his right mind would choose death?  What sane individual would choose curse over blessing?  Why should God need to sagely recommend that we choose life and blessing?  Who would do otherwise?

In reality, we face these choices many times each day.   Frequently the wrong path is the more appealing one.

God has put us in a world with not only physical gravity but also spiritual gravity.  Yes, it takes far more effort to climb up the stairs than down.  It takes far more effort to lift a weight than it takes to drop it.  It takes far more fuel for an airplane to attain cruising altitude after takeoff than it takes for the same aircraft to descend back to earth prior to landing.

Similarly, it is far harder to keep to a diet than it is to let oneself go.  It is far harder to stick to a project that needs doing than to abandon it for an evening’s entertainment. It is harder to keep a marriage going than to walk away and it is harder to do one’s work when it needs to be done than it is to make excuses.

Yes, most of us know what we ought to do.  The problem is that God built a system of spiritual gravity that resists our every attempt to improve ourselves and our lives. We should be happy about this for the same reason that weightlifters and athletes are happy that gravity exists.  Without it, everyone would be able to bench-press four hundred pounds and run a four minute mile, but these bogus accomplishments would achieve nothing.  In His kindness, God gives us opportunities to confront spiritual and moral challenges allowing us to grow and thrive.

Knowing the secret to success is far different from traveling that path. Rarely do the divergent paths of life or death confront us head on. Instead, we make choices during countless, seemingly unimportant, daily moments. Being aware that small actions lead to a critical finish line makes it easier to steadily move in the right direction. Choose life!

Financial realities dictate that we raise the price of the 5 audio CD Biblical Blueprint Set. We will do so next week in order to give you a last chance to purchase them at the present low price.  Take some time to explore the treasure trove of wisdom found in these CDs and discover the fuel they provide for making wise choices.

Reach Your Destiny with The Words You Speak

February 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Share on Tumblr Share

If you want to reach your destiny and I can assume you want to, because you came to the title of this article, you have to learn to watch what you speak if you are serious enough. Your words can create your destiny;  with your own words you

Mar 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. Mar 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

can accelerate your destiny, slow down or thwart it from coming to pass. What do you want?

God wants us to get to the place where the Word of the Lord is our proof and our evidence; it’s all we need to say and to believe. The Word of God will cut through anything that is in this earth, that is upside down. Jesus said to Martha that Mary had chosen the good thing. It’s always comes down to our choices isn’t it? Mary had chosen the good thing and nobody could take it away from her and only one thing is needful and that is what she chose. Only one thing is needful!

Let’s have a close look at Mat 12:34-36 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure or deposit of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

There is a day that we all have to stand before the judgment seat of Christ, this means that there is a time where our words come to manifestation. There is a time of harvest. Our words have already been judged, because God has already said what needs to be said about that. For instance; if you have an attorney in a court of law and he has an argument, the judge goes to the book and reads what the court has already said a long time ago in 1897 or what the court said in 1981. Your argument has already been judged by the words that are written in the book of the law.

God has already judged the things that you are doing. When you keep on doing what you should not be doing, saying what you shouldn’t be saying. When you do this and say that; the harvest will come because judgment has to come to pass. We say so many idle words and think nothing about it, isn’t it? Jesus was very careful with the all the words he spoke; He never said any idle word.

You know, if I have a recipe for something and I just put something in there; it will change the consistency of what I am trying to cook. You see, that is what we do when we start dumping words in our day to day life that are not lining up with the Word of God.

We have had a natural training and we think we have to use a lot of words about something. We have to say it over and over again or we think we have to say so a lot of words, because it gives a good feeling and don’t think nothing about it.

If we are afraid that our destiny is not coming to pass and standing on Mark 11:23-24; you will start saying the wrong words toward your destiny. You believe in your confession and speak it into existence using your faith. But now you are watering down what you just said. Jesus was not a man of many words; he said something and He just walked off. He spoke to the fig tree and never said a word about it anymore.

We in our natural always ask ourselves “how does that work”? Our reasoning dilutes all the words that we speak by faith every time we speak otherwise. Don’t step away from your faith; just put your words ahead of you and let it go.

The bible talks about the power of the tongue in Prov.6:2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Our mouth and what we say has a lot to do with what is developed or what comes out of your life and He says here “you are going to be snared”. We have a lot of power with our words; we have to watch that because we can be snared with our own words.

You can make it so that you don’t reach your destiny because of what you say, not by what other people said about you. But by what you say. Mat 12:37 says “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”. Not by their words. When you put their words in your mouth, then it will. Do you see that?

God made it so that no man can stop you, except you. By all words that you choose to speak. We cannot blame anybody else; not the government, not our family. You have a choice and nobody can stop that. You get the results, nobody can stop that. Jesus told us how to choose our words wisely; what we say, we will get in our life!

There is power in choice. God can’t and won’t make us do anything, and the devil certainly can’t force us into anything we don’t willingly agree to. For this reason, the responsibility for the direction of our lives is in our hands. Choose to speak God’s Word to fulfill your destiny.

Supernatural Increase and Multiplication

February 26, 2011 by 3 Comments

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Supernatural Increase and Multiplication

by Olga Hermans

 

The Word of God enlarges our capacity to receive the power of God whether it is in your healing, whether it is in your finances or your family. We have to develop our faith and enlarge our capacity; you need to be transformed by the renewing of your mind to these things.

We live in a crucial time in the life of our economy; we must be build up and renew our minds to the word of God. To fulfill the plan that God has for us we must prosper. In the same way that we are to be healed and whole; we are to prosper.

You know, people try to increase themselves and he does that through toil. There is a supernatural increase and a supernatural multiplication that we ought to operate in, in the Kingdom of God system. Super means above and beyond, natural is of this world. So, we are looking at the above and beyond the natural course of this world. That’s why we are not subject to the times; we might have the same conditions around us, but we experience different results. That is why we thrive and not just survive.

Psa 115:12-16 says: The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The Lord shall increase us more and more and we pass it on to our children. God increases us; it is the will of the Lord to supernaturally increase us and to supernaturally multiply the seed that is sown. The Hebrew word says that we are added continually over and above. Isn’t that exciting? We will increase supernaturally even in times of economic stress. God has increased us and he is going to increase us.

Psa 67:5-7 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

It says here that when we thank Him for all the things He has done, that the earth shall yield it increase. When you praise Him, you say something good about God. You talk about how good He is and how big He is. “Father, I thank You in the name of Jesus how much You are blessing us and how You are supernaturally increasing us. How You took us from a low estate and You lifted us up into higher places. I praise You for that. Can you do that? Sure you can!

The Message says: “You mark us with blessing, O God”. We are marked for prosperity, for success, for abundance, for healing, for blessing.

There was a time that people were persecuted for preaching the new birth, but we have accepted that now. There were people who were persecuted for preaching about healing, but now we have accepted that. Now there are people who are persecuted for preaching the message of prosperity. Why? It is good news to the people who are poor. There are people who are in dire strait right now, you might be one of them and you need to know that God wants to increase you.

The lord wants to increase us, we are marked with blessing.

I want to share one more great scripture with you and then I will be back in the next few days with more; here we go:
Lev 26:9  For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you, and establishing and ratifying My covenant with you. Ampl.

The Word of God is not contingent to the economy we live in. Our blessing come out of heaven and it manifests in the earth and it affects the earth, but it comes out of heaven and the earth has to respond. God gives the increase.
God leans toward you with favor and renders you fruitful.

Do you believe it? Are you making a choice to receive the Word of God that we just read? Choose to Believe! Did you know that you have been given the power of choice? The gift of free will is one thing that characterizes God as a Father. He gives us His guidelines for life in His Word and then allows us to make our own choices. We have the power to choose a life of blessings or curses. Our futures are completely in our hands (Deuteronomy 30:15-19).

Your Life is Choice Driven!
See you soon: Olga

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

February 25, 2011 by 1 Comment

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

 

A Different Perspective on Our Fellowship With The Father

by Olga Hermans

 

Do you remember my post on “our call to fellowship with the Father” on Febr. 19? You can read it here. We talked about  4 definitions and we talked about konoinia.

The best example of konoinia is a marriage. My husband and I got married in November 1980, 30 years ago. We have a beautiful love story, maybe I share that one day. We have known each other since 1965, so we are in the 46th year of knowing each other. That is a long time, if you think about it.

We know each other now in the most personal way possible; we have worked through things together and we have experienced the highs and the lows, the good, the bad and the ugly someone might say; the attacks of the enemy in our lives. We have gone through very hard places together. We know each other and we still are getting to know each other. Why is that?

That is because we shared life together and we still do of course.  I heard this quote by E.W.Kenyon as we talk about marriage here: “The two have become poured into the same cup perfectly blended.” And that is what we should be looking for not only in our marriage but also in our relationship with the Father, where the two of us are poured into the same cup together and we are perfectly blended and that people really would see Jesus in us.

At least to the best that we can exhibit, that they would see the Father blended in us and that we are truly one together. That is what it means to be “IN HIM”, to be blended with each other.

Koinonia is knowing somebody in the most personal way possible. Do you want to know the Father in that most personal way possible? I am very hungry for that. I know the Lord since may 15, 1989 and still sense that strong longing to get to know Him. That’s good. Remember what Paul said in Phil.3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding [the wonders of His Person]more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection. Ampl.

There is always more to know about Him; it is unending!! I t will take eternity for Him to exhibit the love that He has for us. It is massive, it is gigantic; it is beyond imagination! God is calling us by name into a close companionship, a sweet communion and an intimate relationship and a personal friendship with Him. He is calling you and I by name! That is what HE would like to have.

Have you ever thought about how to approach the Father? My heart has been yearning for a deeper and a more closer relationship with the Father. I have been yearning for that and it has been intensified the last year, what about you? I am hungry to know the Father in ways that I have never known Him before. My pastor in Tulsa; Billy Joe Daugherty many times said “in your quest to bring change in your life, you have to do something you have never done before.” So, in our quest to know the Father in a different way, we have to do something different.”

The Holy Spirit wants to help us in the relationship with the Father. Sometimes we have to get out of a mold, because it turns into religion; a habit and sometimes you have to break out of that in order to turn your thinking around to get a different perspective. So, sometimes you need to do something that you have never done before to get a different result.

So, let’s focus entirely on the fact that God wants a relationship with us. That is a change of focus, isn’t it? Let’s focus on the desire of the Lord instead of focusing on our desire to know Him. Let’s see the side of God on our relationship. So often we have an idea about God sitting on the throne in that huge authoritative way that we are continually approaching Him. We have our own perspective of what God is all about.

We have to be able to see the passion of God that He has for us; His hunger for us, His desire for us. He loves to hear our voices in the morning! He wants sweet communion with us and too many times we have that sense of unworthiness in us. But that is why we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Let’s come to end of this post ad let’s make a choice to build our relationship with the Father from another perspective. Let’s realize that he wants to fellowship with us and that as we go to Him to love on Him and to minister to Him and be thankful for everything that He has done for us; we also receive His love for us. Knowing how much He loves us, realizing how much He loves to hear our voice in the morning.  Will you make that choice? Choices change things in our life. Let me know what you think or what is going on in your life. I would love to hear from you!

Will The Devil Fight Your Dream

The Power of Choice

Will The Devil Fight Your Dream

by Olga Hermans

 

You better know he will! He fought God’s dream to bring salvation to mankind. So, you can take it to the bank that he is going to try and fight your dreams, too, especially if he thinks you can actually do them!

You have to get beyond him with faith to confuse him. When you live by faith, he doesn’t know what to do, but that doesn’t mean he will leave you alone. He is going to try and mess up your goals by trying to mess up your trail of thoughts. He wants to pollute your thought life so that he can render you powerless to change. Don’t let him.

He is going to try and pull on your flesh, tempt you to go off course in your spirituality. Remember that the flesh is all he has to work with. As I mentioned earlier, he is a flesh devil, not a faith devil. How can you use the renewing of the mind, your trail of thoughts as a tool to defeat the devil? Don’t allow him to have a place in your thought-life.

Refuse to dwell on his negativity. Instead, lean on the Word. If he tries to use somebody else’s defeating words to drag you down, recognize it for what it is and don’t accept it. Then quote a scripture to yourself or remind yourself of what God has already told you.

Remember that the devil can only work in the realm of the senses. You work in the realm of the spirit as well as the senses. The devil is a flesh-based tempter. His goal is to get you to quit and give up on God’s good plan for your life. Whether it is spiritual, physical, emotional or financial, he wants to render you powerless to do what you’re meant to do in this life. But, he is only going to use the senses to tempt you.

After all, have you ever been tempted in the Spirit? Think about it. Have you ever been tempted to tithe? I mean, were you under heavy temptation to give ten percent to the Lord? No! Do you know why? Tithing is a spiritual concept. You are only tempted in the flesh (daily, instead of just on Sunday), you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal.2:20)

In other words, putting God first every day is going to help you fulfill your dream and sticking to your spirituality is going to help you stay on your course.

It is more interesting and adventurous to live by faith. Plus, God rewards the diligent and it takes diligence to renew your thought life. Your efforts won’t be in vain and, in the end, you will actually find that your destiny comes with more blessings.

When you seek to fulfill your destiny, you’re really seeking God with all your heart. That plan for your life didn’t originate with yourself; it originated with Him. He is your Creator and you are the co-creator of your own life. You choose to create your life within His life.

You make the right choices in life and you will live in the blessing, right in the middle of god’s perfect will. That is the power of choice that God has given use. Let’s use to the benefit of our own life. We are so thankful for that, isn’t it?

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just

by Olga Hermans

 

We are living in the most critical hour of our adult life time in these days. A Word from the Lord came through Charles Capps in 1978 which is a long time ago, yet in God’s timing it still is applicable for today. If we do not contend for this word of the Lord, it will just drift away. But, we are not going to let it drift away, because it is alive. This word of the Lord is talking about today!

This is the toughest time since the great depression; it is a serious time. This prophesy is given for our time; this time right now!! Please read it and release the Lord for your finances! There is a Financial Inversion and we are in it right now! If you would picture the Hoover Dam and picture that dam exploding and all the reservoirs that have been held up are bursting and they are breaking. The rush of all that water would flood the land.

Pro 13:22  A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. The Ampl.Translation says: The wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up. There is a work that churches all over the world have to do and it takes finances to do it. The reservoirs of the wicked will be drained into those that God can trust.

Job 27:16-17 NIV says: Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay, what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver. So, it is laid up for the righteous. Jesus makes us righteous. The NLT says: Job 27:17-19 But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will divide that money. The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches. The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.

God is in charge of the wealth transfer; so, we don’t go and ask the rich for money. Believe God! Faith only puts pressure on the word; we do not put pressure on people.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. I want to please God, you? We have to be those who please the Lord.

How do you please the Lord? We walk by faith. We obey the word; we do what He says and we walk in love.
When the children of Israel left Egypt, there was a major wealth transfer that took place from Egypt into the children of Israel. Psa 105:37 He brought [Israel] forth also with silver and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Most of the time and rightfully so, we see the word “feeble” as there was none sick among them. That was supernatural healing. You, probably watched the 10 commandments and saw all the Israelites coming out of Egypt, hobbling and wobbling on their walking stick, walking slowly because they were weak. That was NOT SO!!

It says: not one feeble! The word feeble in the Hebrew says there was not one pauper among their tribes. The dictionary describes pauper as an extremely poor person. A person without any means of support; a destitute person who depends on aid from public welfare or charity. There was not one person.

There was not one person poor; if they were poor before, they weren’t poor any more. Because there was a wealth transfer. They had been slaves from where they came from and suddenly the curse of poverty was broken. There was not one person without any means of support. There was not one destitute person who depends on welfare funds or charity. That is the way we should be walking, that our dependence is upon Him. All were enriched by their oppressors. The Israelites had worked for them and they owed them big time.

But, not one left as a pauper. That’s what God’s will is for us. When the Jews left Egypt, there was not one pauper; they weren’t sick and they weren’t poor. They were enriched; there was a wealth transfer that took place. That is a picture of us. We have been delivered from Egypt; in the New Testament we have been transferred from the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light when we got born again. So, we left the Kingdom of darkness with a great inheritance on our name. We might not have known it at the time; all we have to do is get in the Word of God and see what He says about it.

We have to actively believe God and release our faith for that wealth transfer. It is out there; we need to receive it. Jesus said, whatever you believe you receive when you pray, you receive it. That word “receive” means ‘to take” and “to cease with a grip that cannot be shaken.”

Heavenly Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we stand on this word that You gave through Charles Capps and we stand on the Word of God, that gives us the benefit of the wealth transfer that is laid for the Just and God, there is much to be done in the Kingdom of God. There is much to be preached in the Kingdom of God. We receive that right now into the Household of faith. We receive it with a grip that cannot be broken.

Psa 105:43  And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing.

Choose Today to believe for the wealth transfer to come into your personal life and into your household! When we choose to believe, we receive it by faith with a grip that cannot be shaken. The power of choice has been given to you and me; make sure that you make that choice and to not let go of it. And God said,…”I’m sticking with you. I’ll make every word I give you come true.”

4 Reasons Why Have Right Relationships For Life

Share on Tumblr Share

What is the ONE thing that you can take with you when you leave this earth? Not your money! Not your possessions!

Right Relationships For Life

But relationships, people that we are connected with in the gospel and in the Kingdom of God here on this earth, they are not going to end; we will take our relationship with us into heaven. Have you ever thought about it that way? Our relationships are very important!

Heb 13:15-16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

So, your first communication is with God. God wants you to talk to Him and to praise Him. He is not on an ego trip; He just knows that when you get your mind off from your problems and you start worshipping Him that he can work in your life. God never quits believing in you, no matter what is happening.

Then He talks about relationships with other people, with others around you, your family but also with other people around you. He tells us not to forget to communicate. Fellowship with one another.

God shows us in His word that we are in need of relationships. People can fail us, people sometimes don’t meet our expectations, sometimes people are rough around the edges, we need them, we need people and we need relationship around our life. No man is an island to himself. God created us with this need for relationships in our life.

You know, in the day we are living in it is sometimes hard for people to have relationships. People get real busy, they are busy in providing for their family and they are going from here to there and they feel that they don’t have time for relationships. But God wants to have relationships that can speak into our lives and receive from, but also relationships that we can give into. It is not always that we only can take from relationship; we have to give into relationships as well.

We live in a society right now that is very self-focused, self-centered; what is in it for me? If I can benefit from this relationship, I’ll be in it but if I don’t benefit than I am not in it. Some of your relationships are not going to be about you! Some of your relationships are going to be about other people.

We in a technological society, many people have learned to communicate through Facebook. I met some great people on facebook, but if we just rely on facebook and we have no other relationships around our life we can experience moments that we feel alone. It is very important that we make the effort that we not be alone, because the devil wants to take people out in this hour. When the devil can get people apart from other people that are able to speak into their lives, he can start speaking to them. He is a liar; he speaks lies and begins to convince them that they are not valuable or because of all these things, you might as well end your life. Those are lies. The enemy wants to destroy us. Jesus came to give us life! So, we have to make an effort to have relationships.

More than ever we need more than these on the surface relationships with people; we need to have some deep level communication. How do you find those relationships? First you have to be around people until you feel comfortable with being around them and you sense in your heart that they have a same heart for God and a same spirit of humility and desire for a relationship like you do. Then you will find people that can sharpen you, like iron sharpens iron.

You are around people until you locate those kind of people that you can open up with, we all need it.

There is a football player Brady James from Dallas Cowboys; he shared in his testimony how he had to break off wrong relationships in order to follow Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:33 says “don’t be deceived, wrong relationships can corrupt good morals”. He saw that in his life, so he had to change his relationships in order to have relationships that were going to help him.

Let me close here with 4 Facts of the importance of right relatedness

1. It will protect and deliver you – 1 Corinthians 15:33 – “Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.’”

2.  It will see us through hard times and give us the ability to then help others – 2

Corinthians 1:4 Message – “He comes alongside us when we go though hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.”

3.  It will provide accountability in our lives.

4.  It will help us get past hurts and forgive others and be reconciled where there have been broken relationships – Matthew 18:15-20, Isaiah 1:18.
